Answer: Tummy Tuck with Liposuction Thank you for your questions and photos. From your photos, you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of the abdominal muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas with some skin retraction. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Answer: Am I a candidate From your photos it appears you would have better results from a tummy tuck if you first lost weight. The round appearance of your abdomen is likely from visceral fat which is the fat behind your abdominal wall that surrounds your organs. This fat cannot be addressed through a tummy tuck or liposuction; it is only improved through weight loss.
